A DePauw University football player, number 72, in the seasons from 1946 to 1949, Morris was given the nick name “Big Moose” from his Delta Upsilon Fraternity brothers. He graduated from DePauw 1950 with a degree in Economics. He had the honor of being coached by a graduate assistance named Joe Thomas, who went on to fame in the NFL. “Big Moose” played both ways, on offense he was a hard hitting fullback, on defense he was an aggressive middle linebacker. Many of his teammates and opponents were back from World II and in college on the G.I. bill. They were a tough individuals who had come back from the war. They hit hard, so he hit harder.

So when things get tough, win one for “Big Moose”!
